In this episode of The Innovators & Investors Podcast, host Kristian Marquez sits down with David Brem, Managing Director of the University of Michigan’s Zell Lurie Commercialization Fund. David offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a student-led endowment fund focused on early-stage, sector-agnostic investments primarily in the Michigan ecosystem. He shares insights on their unique, founder-first investment approach, how they navigate pre-seed to Series A venture opportunities, and the rigorous due diligence process involving qualitative analysis over pure numbers. David also discusses his roles with global VC networks including Electro Ventures, the London Venture Capital Network, and Level Up Ventures, illustrating how he bridges U.S., European, and Australian venture ecosystems with a special focus on mobility and transportation tech. Highlights include deep dives into emerging trends like eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft), smart city infrastructure, and safety innovations in aviation technology. Listeners will gain valuable perspectives on how diverse expertise—from military intelligence and management consulting to academic ventures—shapes David’s investment thesis and community-building efforts. The episode also explores the importance of networking, adding value in the startup ecosystem, and practical advice for aspiring investors or entrepreneurs navigating the venture capital world. With stories of successes, challenges, and future outlooks, this episode is a must-listen for innovators, founders, and investors aiming to understand the intersection of academia, technology, and venture capital in today’s dynamic landscape.

The lack of qualified cybersecurity professionals in the United States is a threat to our national security. We cannot adequately protect the systems that our government, economy, and critical infrastructure sectors rely on without an appropriately sized cyber workforce. By some estimates, there are over 700,000 cybersecurity job openings across the United States, with 39,000 of those in the public sector alone. Fortunately, the federal government recognizes that the cyber workforce needs to be strengthened and is implementing efforts to address this need at a national strategic level.

In this webcast, we will examine how to use principles and concepts from Agile development to help cyber workforce development initiatives remain adaptable and effective in the continuously evolving landscape of the cyber domain.

Organizations looking to build and adopt artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled systems face the challenge of identifying the right capabilities and tools to support Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) pipelines. Navigating the wide range of available tools can be especially difficult for organizations new to AI or those that have not yet deployed systems at scale. This webcast introduces the MLOps Tool Evaluation Rubric, designed to help acquisition teams pinpoint organizational priorities for MLOps tooling, customize rubrics to evaluate those key capabilities, and ultimately select tools that will effectively support ML developers and systems throughout the entire lifecycle, from exploratory data analysis to model deployment and monitoring. This webcast will walk viewers through the rubric’s design and content, share lessons learned from applying the rubric in practice, and conclude with a brief demo. What Attendees Will Learn: • How to identify and prioritize key capabilities for MLOps tooling within their organizations • How to customize and apply the MLOps Tool Evaluation Rubric to evaluate potential tools effectively • Best practices and lessons learned from real-world use of the rubric in AI projects…

When it comes to recognizing threats, cybersecurity professionals may become distracted by big promises or ignore some obvious inspections. New claims made by the latest and greatest new apps draw attention away from network situational awareness best practices—like a dog distracted when it spots a squirrel. We also may deviate from making routine inspections that point toward further investigation—overlooking obvious needs right under our noses. Either becoming distracted or missing obvious inspections can cause us not to detect threats. What Attendees Will Learn: • The distinction between anomalies and threats • Steps to analyze data to detect a threat • The benefits of completing work on one threat…

Can a Cybersecurity Parametric Cost Model be Developed? 56:25

16 weeks پیش56:25

56:25

Can a cybersecurity parametric cost estimation model be developed? Every Department of Defense (DoD) program needs to account for, credibly estimate, budget/plan for, and assess the performance of its cybersecurity activities. Creating a cybersecurity parametric model would allow DoD programs to reliably estimate the effort and cost of cybersecurity activities, estimate an overall cybersecurity cost for a program, and obtain a defined and normalized set of cybersecurity data. In this webcast, Christopher Miller shares insights from a Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute study on cybersecurity cost estimating that can help national security organizations successfully deploy parametric cost modeling. What Attendees Will Learn: • a proposed work breakdown structure identifying cybersecurity-related activities and cost items, and existing descriptions of secure coding practices and levels of rigor for those practices based on data availability • an approach to develop a cybersecurity parametric cost model • a methodology to develop the cost model…

Surviving disruptive cyber events requires a specific form of planning. One must strike a balance between defending against threats (e.g., managing conditions) and effectively handling the effects of disruption (e.g., managing consequences). Employing a model (such as the CERT Resilience Management Model) provides a catalog of practices and a system of measurement. Focusing on key attributes of performance permits a level of prediction not possible with a basic checklist. In this webcast, Greg Crabbe and Matt Butkovic share their experiences in establishing and maintaining operational resilience programs. What Attendees Will Learn: • how to link mission outcome with asset resilience • how managing for security differs from managing for resilience • how to apply a capability maturity model to the challenge • how to begin analyzing requirements and constructing an operational resilience management program…
